<p>This text, part of the Studies in Labour and Social Law series, examines the role that law might play in opposing disability discrimination in the labour market and in promoting the employment rights of disabled workers - an area much neglected in legal literature and employment law. It explores the meaning of disability, the demography, nature and experience of disability, and evaluates the evidence of employment discrimination against disabled persons and their position in the labour market. It also sets out the existing law on disabled employment rights in Britain and compares it with similar situations in the European Union, North America and Australia.</p>

Disability, Discrimination and Equal Opportunities: A Comparative Study of the Employment Rights of Disabled Persons (Studies in Labour and Social L)

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 imposed new duties on employers, trade organizations, service providers, property owners, educational bodies and public transport providers. It created new individual rights for disabled persons and opened up possibilities for new forms of litigation. Disability Discrimination: Law and Practice is the definitive guide to how this important legislation operates in practice in the UK. This new edition has been updated to take account of the many important developments in this area, including: new case law on the meaning of disability, and the employment and trade organization provisions in the Act; the prospective implementation of the remaining aspects of Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 which will place further duties on service providers from October 2004; the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 and its effects on schools, colleges and universities in relation to disabled pupils and students; and the likely reforms to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the Disability Rights Commission Act 1999 following the Government's response to the Disability Rights Task Force report, its proposals for implementing the EC Employment Directive and the Disability Rights Commission first statutory review of the legislation. The book is an invaluable reference dealing with the developing body of law regulating disability discrimination for all those advising businesses, service providers and other organizations, and those representing disabled people in court or tribunal proceedings. The full text of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the Disability Rights Commission Act 1999 is included.
